I'm Billy - a curiously attractive, thirty one year old, pun loving
polyglot. I am a willing participant in the NY grind, so I've got
my claws in a number of projects. Moonlight as a bike mechanic for
all those bike-lovin boys.

I've been living in Brooklyn for the past five years, now. Surfing
that fine line between ambition and contentment, with style.

Using this OKCupid adventure to find someone...or people to expand
my social circle. Dates, sex, magic-shows, surprise me.

Now that the winter is over, I need to prioritize finding
opportunities to get out of town. I work A LOT. But I swear I am
trying to find a way to incorporate a stud like you into my sea to
summit adventures. (wink)

I like being outside so my typical non-work schedule might include
pitching a hammock wherever I find trees. Whether its a quick,
overnight bike trip or a multi-week wilderness jaunt. Replete with
pickle eating, river bathing, fresh pasta by the camp fire, fly
tying, and bougie under-the-stars bottle of wine romance. Can you
imagine it? Yea...I know you can.

Professionally, I work with wine. Natural, organic, biodynamic and
low-sulphur numbers, to be a bit more specific. Part Somm - Part
Enabler. I will bring your dinner party to its knees with a Magnum
contribution...phrasing.... (-_-;). But actually, I'll bring a
bottle of delicious wine to most any occasion. Try me.

In other adult news, these days I wait patiently for my fool-proof
get rich scheme. Online law degree, Marrying "up", Social Media
start-up, Unlicensed Wisdom-based therapy services, Being a
consultant for anything. The world, evidently, is my oyster. Top
Hat.

Sci-Fi and Fantasy book-lovin, non-fiction consuming, literary
commitaphobe. I remember being touched while reading Dag
Hammarskjöld's memoirs, but not much about the actual text. The
Magic Show issue of Laphams Quarterly was my favorite so far.
Wikipedia, best damn book, EVER. Also, DUNE. Seriously. DUNE. Just
one word. DUNE. Know a Dune reference? Prepare yourself for a
decent blow job. Well, not really...but DUNE. (side note - my head
game is on point, just fyi)

Movies. movies. movies. These days I like easy movies. A bit of
action, a bit of comedy, foreign flicks with the appropriate amount
of full frontal male nudity and other homoerotic undertones, kung
fu classics, spy/super human ass kicking espionage capers, horror
movies (this is my third date move). Also, in my humble opinion,
porn with a plot gets a bad rap.

I saw Hedwig and the Angry Inch with John Cameron Mitchell. Peak
moment.

I wasn't going to fill this section out. 50% because it seemed it
could spiral and become materialistic or reductive. 50% because it
was proving too difficult to find satisfying answers. But everyone
has managed, so lets give it a shot. Disclaimer, these are just the
things I tend to need in the day-to-day. If I come up with some big
picture things, I'll write em up.

1. Friends - but not too many friends. Just the good ones. I am
basically my own best friend. I laugh at all my own jokes and will
have sex with me whenever I want.

2. Positivity and perspective - For the most part, I try not to let
things bring me down. Sometimes, things are on the upswing, other
times they aren't. I try to do what makes me happy without falling
into that ever-so-enticing pit trap of vapid selfishness. It goes a
long way with maintaining a healthy sense of self. If you're happy,
could things be so bad? :) "So Billy, don't be an idiot, your life
isn't over, you're still awesome, you should be smiling."

3. Good food. Nothing puts me in a crummy mood faster than giving
people money for bad food. If you open a breakfast joint, learn how
to cook an egg. Poached egg with hard yolk? Whats that about? If
your menu offers a soft boiled egg, why is that shit hard boiled?
Why is yo frittata dry?! Maybe I just need properly cooked eggs as
my #3... But on the real real. Bad steaks - not cool. Bad pizza -
my blood boils. Bad ramen - RACIST!

4. Having an escape - Chasing fish in a tiny swimming hole, drunk
snow shoeing at night, snorkeling in shallow clear waters, refusing
to swim in the quarry because there are monsters in the murky
water, waking up near a river, making up constellations on a clear
night, laughing at the mosquitos under my radical head net, running
from snakes on a trail. These are the most fun I'll ever have. All
the NYC stuff is great, but they are just interludes to the good
stuff.

5. Really, I think that's it. Well....dreaming about hitting the
lottery. That probably rounds out the top 5. Cause when I win the
lottery, MAN! I am gonna be a Philanthropist Playboy Empire
Builder! People are gonna be so confused. "He seems so nice, but
have you heard the stories? Questionable ethics! Questionable
morals! He has too much money for his own good! Sex Adventurer or
Community Builder?" Thats right, "Sex Adventurer" Whatever that
means.

6. Alex Honnold. This is easier than I thought it'd be. The ideas
just keep coming! Cue string of celebrity crushes.

Happiness used to rank pretty high on my priority list, until I
realized I am generally pretty happy. Now fulfillment is the name
of the game. I have a million things I'd like to do and tempus
fugit and what have you. Want to do one of the million things with
me? Shoot me a message.

You are tall, have red hair, hilarious, frighteningly intellegent,
have a trust fund, sharing, a nympho, have nice (big) hands, enjoys
doing laundry, PUNS!, will coddle me though simultaneously enjoy my
independence, have a thing for people that look like me.

I also recently saw Thor, so...yeah, you get the idea. Australian
Viking add Scientist, please.
